ARMEPOX® DTM 243 Mastic ALU
Two‑component epoxy putty with aluminum pigment and high solids content (80% by volume), possessing high tolerance to surface preparation quality (ST). Forms a durable protective coating in the colour “Aluminum Gray” with improved barrier properties. Can be used as a primer, intermediate or finish layer.
Ideal for repair painting and use in conditions where high‑quality surface preparation cannot be ensured. Provides reliable protection of steel structures, external surfaces of tanks and bridges. The aluminum pigment enhances the barrier effect of the coating, increasing resistance to moisture and corrosion.
